It's been a while since I looked at the innards of an NNTP server. If I
recall correctly, though, outbound queues store only message IDs. So if
a locally originated message is canceled before it is transmitted off-
site, the cancel will have the proper effect.

Once the message is beyond the horizon in which cancels are honored, of
course, the electrons have been wasted.

You really ought to know that there isn't a mainstream news server on
the planet that still accepts cancel commands.

You ought to know that AT&T Worldnet honors cancel commands. Given
that they were the backbone for arpanet/usenet in the '80s, I'd
characterize them as mainstream.

Don't you mean BBN Planet? They weren't bought/merged into AT&T, they
were merged into Level 3. But I digress.

Well looking at Larry's message that he says he sent a cancel message
and the follow up message I think the difference was 4 minutes.

All I know is, that back in '83 when the news moved over uucp
communication links, it seemed like nearly all traffic went through
ihnp4 which was AT&T the way I remember it.

Now for the guys with "Heavy" experience. Does the 747 really only have
enough onboard battery power to last a little over an hour for the
flight deck?

That's already quite a while. How much battery power would you expect? The
aircraft is designed so that it should never have to get by on battery power
alone.

Unless you get your newsgroups from the AT&T servers, that doesn't make much
difference.

Well, news.t-online.de honors cancel commands, and it's the news server of
Germany's biggest ISP, and since Germany is to the best of my knowledge on
the planet you are speaking of, that would qualify it as mainstream.

Germany isn't even a blip on the Internet radar.

FWIW, I did not see Larry's original message, though I have no way of
telling whether the cancel was honored by T-Online or a server further
upstream.

What was the content, subject or msg-id of the test message you sent and
cancelled? I am not seeing an obvious "test, I will cancel this" message
from you.

There. Wasn't that difficult, now, was it?

Nope.
